Apartamentos Soho Boutique Museo

I will reiterate what others have said…check in is a 15 minute walk from the apartments. I booked through capital One and did t get anything for The hotel itself as far as confirmation or instructions. You also have to walk a distance to get to the apartments from where the taxi or Uber drops you off. So after lugging our bags through the crowded plaza we arrive at the apartments and there is nothing. No instructions or anything indicating where you check in. I got lucky and a family was just arriving to the same surprise as I was and spoke fluent Spanish. They were able to get directions to the reservation desk from the housekeeper so I followed them. Luckily my friend sat back and waited for me with the baggage and the housekeeper stowed the family’s baggage for them. Otherwise the walk to check I would have been horrible. It was already super inconvenient. When we arrived they had trouble finding my reservation. I booked through capital one and think that there was some translation error in the software. My booking was under something that wasn’t even a name. It took about 20 minutes to figure that out. Then we were told we had to come back at 4 pm. It was around 11:30 am at this point. I found a baggage storage location pretty close by, paid $26, and set off to kill 4.5 hours. When we arrived back to check in they couldn’t find the key to the apartment. I was told the housekeeper still had it and was bringing it. 4:20 she shows up with the key. So we walk the 15 walk back to the luggage storage, get our bags and head to the apartment. First impressions were that it was much bigger than I expected. I did notice the kitchenette counters still had crumbs on them and the bathroom smells horribly moldy. There is also no type of towel for the kitchen. No paper towels, no kitchen towel. So we took a towel from the bathroom for the kitchen. It is almost 5 pm at this point and we exhausted from walking around in the sun all day trying to kill time. I take the nasty throw pillows off the bed (one looks like a toddlers seriously loved stuffed animal with matted fur) and go to lay down. It was then I notice black hairs on the bed and on our bath towels. Hair is where I draw the line so I go to sit on the pullout sofa. It has also seen better days and is dirty in places. Nothing here feels clean to me. No view, noisy alley and very limited hot water. Also there is a Nescafé machine but no instructions. And it appears the fridge does not make ice. We have been traveling across Spain for three weeks and this has been the worst experience. There is nothing about this experience with Soho Boutique that has been even close to good. My suggestion is pay a little more and get a clean room. Run while you still can! Even if I had known ahead of time about the 15 minute distance between check in and location I would have opted to not do that. There is no incentive to have a 15 minute walk between you and the hotel reception desk. Ridiculous!

Wow what a location! Have stayed in various places in Malaga and this location right by the Roman Theatre is second to none. You have to pick up the keys in the hotel about 5 min walk away - no problem for us but worth bearing in mind. Apartment was huge and spacious and well equipped. Limited hot water but we just spread our showers out and were fine. Passageway outside apartment is a thoroughfare and noisy - we happened to be there the night of a Lent procession and drums and crowds were passing by even at midnight- and revellers even later. Nice to be in the hubbub, but noisy if a light sleeper. For us worth it for the location!

It was our first time to visit Málaga and our stay at the Soho Boutique Museo was absolutely the best! Cleanliness, proximity and the best part - really quiet at night! The place is very centric yet a bit far from where the nightlife happens. Best choice for a family with little kids. There's a Michelin star restaurant beside it too.. Would definitely book this place again next time!!!

My friends and I rented a studio apartment for a trip to Malaga. It was beautiful, the beds were super comfy and the room was well shirked from morning light by good curtains. The shower was strong and hot. We will definitely be back. My only criticism is that the wine glasses are very thin and fragile so be very gentle with them.

Normally stay in hotels but as Malaga has so many great food markets this time we booked an apartment. Location was amazing, a quiet side alley next to the Roman ruins, round the corner from the Picasso Museum and the astonishing Cathedral. Great bed in the apartment, shower strong and living dining space was huge. All in all I would absolutely book this again.

L'appartamento è molto bello pulito e in pieno centro, però il check in va fatto a 700 metri di distanza dall'appartamento. Noi non lo sapevamo e abbiamo dovuto fare su e giù con le valigie.... Un aspetto dove si può migliorare è regolare la chiusura del portone di ingresso in quanto gli ospiti dei vari appartamenti lo fanno sbattere in continuazione provocando un fastidioso rumore a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte.
